Free plan: enough for light use
People on the free tier can send five prompts a day through Gemini 2.5 Pro, with a 32,000-token context window in place. 2.5 Flash is open for general access, though without the higher ceilings of paid accounts. Image generation and editing top out at 100 per day, while Audio Overviews reach 20 daily. Research is the tightest cap: free users are limited to five reports per month, and only through 2.5 Flash. For casual testing, that may be fine, but it puts serious limits on anyone trying to lean on Gemini for ongoing work.
Pro plan: a middle ground
At $19.99 a month, the Pro option raises daily prompts to 100 on 2.5 Pro. Switching to 2.5 Flash opens a 1-million-token context window, which supports longer or more complex sessions. The plan lifts image generation to 1,000 per day, and keeps 20 Audio Overviews. Research grows to 20 reports daily, now using 2.5 Pro instead of Flash. Pro also introduces video, with three Veo 3 Fast clips per day in preview. On top of that, subscribers can set up 10 scheduled actions at a time, and they get priority access when new features roll out.
Ultra plan: built for heavy demand
The $249.99 Ultra plan pushes capacity much further. Users can send 500 prompts a day on Gemini 2.5 Pro, while 2.5 Flash is still available with a 1-million-token context window. Image generation stays at 1,000 per day, but video climbs higher with five Veo 3 clips daily in preview. Research allowances expand sharply to 200 reports per day on 2.5 Pro. Ultra also unlocks Deep Think, which accepts 10 prompts per day with its own 192,000-token window for extended reasoning tasks. Audio Overviews remain 20 per day, and scheduled actions match the Pro level at 10 active tasks.
Shared features and extra tools
Across all tiers, Gemini users have access to Canvas, Gems, Storybook, and other creative tools, though the limits depend on the model chosen at the time. Pro and Ultra members often see experimental options first, since Google gives them priority for early features.
Beyond raw usage numbers, Google also outlined how Gemini’s limits function in practice. Caps can vary depending on the length of prompts, the size of uploaded files, and the depth of conversations, with more advanced models subject to stricter thresholds. When a user approaches those limits, the app provides notifications and resets capacity on a regular cycle, meaning restrictions are temporary unless higher usage requires an upgrade. Google added that the Pro and Ultra tiers are available to adults in over 150 countries and territories, with travel restrictions applying if a user moves to a location where Ultra is not offered. The company also explained that a larger context window is particularly useful for lengthy documents or complex datasets, since a one-million-token capacity allows Gemini to analyze the equivalent of roughly 1,500 pages of text or 30,000 lines of code in a single prompt.
What the limits show
Taken together, the numbers make clear how Google is positioning Gemini. The free version offers a trial run with firm guardrails, the Pro plan gives regular users broad flexibility without overwhelming cost, and Ultra targets professionals who need high-volume research and extended context handling. Audio tools remain equally available to everyone, while research and reasoning functions scale up only for paying users.
